SOMa Integrated Playgroup

The SOMa Integrated Playgroup brings together children ages 6 months to 5 years and their parents in a relaxed, fun setting. It is our belief that the seeds of true acceptance, understanding, and most importantly, appreciation, of the various races and ethnicities that make up our local community are planted when we are young. This is a free event hosted by the Community Coalition on Race (CCR) that will be held at Le Parc Place, 195 Maplewood Ave on Sat, April 13 from 10 am until noon. For more information or to RSVP, please call 973-761-6116.

Abstract Art Workshop for Young Artists

This hands-on art-making workshop designed for young people in the fifth through eighth grades will explore the post-World War II Abstract Expressionism movement. Students will experiment with techniques used by the ground-breakers of abstract art like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Cooning. As the grand final, students’ original masterpieces will be displayed in a culminating exhibition in The Herb & Milly Iris Gallery. This event will be held at SOPAC on Saturday, April 13 from 10-4. There is a $25 fee that covers a box lunch and materials. For further information and to register your child contact Linda Beard at LindaB@sopacnow.org.
